Cards from John, Kerry (though still nothing from John Kerry)

I was lucky enough to get a "Christmas in July" package from John Miller a few days ago.


I hadn't seen these before. Cool acetate Simpsons cards from Sykbox that you can apparently stack to create a completed image. Anybody got more of these to trade? Would love to add the missing piece(s) to this.


HOF relic!


John can always be counted on to send me a few Gileses.


Heck of a Josh Donaldson lot, with a couple shiny ones in the upper right.


End of Story; I just recently took Trevor Story off my wantlist and replaced him with teammate Nolan Arenado. Gavin Floyd is also fresh off the wantlist, though I did need that blue parallel. Nice Bird.


Here's some Padres cards, highlighted by a Wil Myers black parallel from '17 Stadium Club.


And a few miscellaneous odds and ends, including relics of Josh Hamilton, Juan Gonzalez, and Todd Helton.

Thanks, John! Always a pleasure.

Next up is a surprise package from fellow Portland dweller, Kerry at Cards on Cards.


A Hawk sighting. The red parallel is #'d 3/25. Impressive!


It's the aforementioned Nolan Arenado, just added to my wantlist like 3 days days ago. Quick!


Bryce is having another solid year. Love that rookie cup xfractor!


Donaldson and Pedro representing Canada.


Manny Margot and Michael Conforto.


A couple legends.


Mookie!


Trout!


A few more cards, with Kerry even sneaking in a basketball card. I don't have many (any?) San Diego Clippers cards, so that World B. Free is pretty cool to get.


We close out with a couple nice relics; Adam Jones bat chip and a Chris Sale jersey swatch.

Awesome.. thanks, Kerry! I'm rounding up a return package for you and will get that out to you soon.

  1. That Simpsons card is cool. A baseball insert set like that would be great.

  2. Has anyone else noticed there's a fella sending cards around the blogs who's impersonating Santa Claus???

  3. Love the idea behind those two Simpsons inserts. Surprised a sports card manufacturer doesn't steal the concept.
